Zusammenfassung:Sounding data from Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean - Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) have provided a first opportunity to document the variability of the atmospheric mixed layer over the western Pacific warm pool on timescales ranging from diurnal to intraseasonal. Six-hourly sounding data from four sites - the atoll Kapingamarangi and R/Vs Moana Wave, Shiyan 3, and Xiangyanghong 5 - are used to determine the mixed layer depth and its thermodynamic properties.
